Hi Linus,

Thanks for your review!

The other Freescale GPIO drivers (e.g. gpio-mxs.c/gpio-mxc.c) are
located under drivers/gpio/ hence I would prefer to leave them there,
even we use pinctrl here. Unless someone at Freescale has another
opinion on this?

Agreed

Agreed, I have don't know why I used the __raw variant here. I think its
because copied this two stubs from gpio-tegra.c.

Ok, will replace those bit operations.

I guess we could load this driver easily a bit later. IMHO, since lots
of other driver use GPIO's, we should it load before all the drivers
gets loaded (before device_initcall).

Most GPIO driver do this, some statistic again:
$ grep -h -o ".*_initcall" drivers/gpio/*.c | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
-r
     33 subsys_initcall
     14 postcore_initcall
      2 device_initcall
      2 arch_initcall
      1 late_initcall
      1 core_initcall

My proposal:
Use subsys_initcall (which is called after arch_initcall) in this GPIO
driver and leave the pinctrl driver as arch_initcall. This way we are
absolutely sure that the GPIO driver gets loaded after the pinctrl and
also leave the pinctrl at its current value.
